  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As I said the learning curve is impressive, thanks to the great support offered by the entire firm through trainings and one-to-ones I felt that I have greatly developed my skills. Without the background given by my university studies I wouldn't have been able to achieve as much.
